Analysis of Fences
Shiftless promises sickened
worthless abilities unreal
Corner standing moochers
your paying for their meal
Ruined undeveloped hearts
early pleasing path
Taught in public schools
barely learning math
Relief from the collective
piled up absolute naught
Establishing common forfeiture
giving is what your taught
Particular partial distribution
serving up for votes
Relieving pride and dignity
buying their new boats
Agenda based arguments
cornering the common man
Simply the complicated
living within their plan
